Customer Reviews
Time Spent with this DAP is more than 50 days, used many IEMs from Budget range to high end.
OBSERVATION & EXPERIENCE SO FAR.
- Wide soundstage, it's creating a spacious listening experience.
- Smooth and refined sound, with good bass & trebles. I liked it.
- little high Volume doesn't hurt ears because of spaciousness which this DAP creates.
- Main unique point is Vocals & Instruments separation, it's best.
- So far, I noticed Battery back up is really good. Will check it over time and provide feedback.
- Does not get warm that too after using for hours.
- Best software & Shanling Music app, it's very fast ( I use 1TB fully loaded Micro SD card.)
Please Note - Little more care is needed while handling as it has Glass tubes. Again it's unique offering & tubes makes music more enjoyable.
CONS-
1. Charging time ( it will get solve by software updates in future, Brand has co
nfirmed it in their post)
2. Only one colour option is available from Brand.
3. Some settings currently not present, Brand may add in future updates ( DSD gain Compensation, PEQ, MSEB, Night light short cut in quick pannel)
CONCLUSION-
a. Highly recommend those who want detailed & immersive experience.
b. THREE IN ONE- One DAP but three modes, all three sounds differently. One mode Transistor (without Tubes) and two Tube modes (Triode & Ultra- linear).

Let customers speak for us
This product is reached my expectation good purchase good audio signal transmission no noise at all.....thank you the audio store👍
Yes
I have used lots of TWS even high end of Samsung and Oppo worth 10K. But IEM sound signature is great! This is my second IEM. I had KZ-ZEX. It has dual driver with electrostatic. Compare with that MoonDrop Chu 2 is better clear and smooth sound signature even with single driver. I am using with Audiocular DAC cost 750. Just go with MoonDrop Chu 2 if you are music lover. Thanks.
Great packaging and quick delivery
Loved the theme of the store and the support of the customer service for every problem I faced. I would be interested in buying new things from the audio store in future.
Good Quality and got a clear case for the player.
Thank you 😊
The quality is great, I felt that the base got a bit reduced and mids and treble enhanced using the same. They look premium. The only downside is that they are slightly bulky as the cable is 16 core and sometimes you can feel it behind the ears. Overall a great cable to upgrade your entry level iems to support balanced output
After going through many websites, I came to know about this particular dac, which is purely oriented on audio amplification with dedicated chip unlike other dacs available under 2k, so ordered and received in two days, to my surprise it has significantly enhanced the audio experience on oneplus 13R, with wired earphones (redmi hi-res of 500 INR), usb type a to c adaptor really came into handy and detected as HiFi audio in my dell laptop, cherry on the cake was the pouch, I didn't expect a pouch, very happy with the purchase...
Visited thier store cum experience center it was very great place for sound lovers . Especially like their display of products in thier demo room.The Owner /Staff were cooperative and also suggested me several IEM's before i select one.
I was looking for IEM Tangzu but they were loud and bass was little low as per my ears.Owner or Associate at store suggested me Audicular i liked the sound as well as bass effect its great product.
The Sennheiser IE 200 delivers impressive value for the price. Comfort-wise, they’re lightweight and fit snugly thanks to the ergonomic design and included foam/silicone tips—great for long listening sessions. Build quality is solid despite the plastic housing, and the detachable braided cable adds durability. As for the sound signature, it’s balanced and clean—tight bass, clear mids, and smooth treble without harshness. Bonus points for the dual-tuning feature that lets you slightly tweak the sound. A fantastic entry-level choice for anyone looking to step into the audiophile world.
There sound is pretty good
Good quality
a very well made cable from Dunu with modular plugs and a very secure fastening system (q lock), no microphonics noted, contrary to many reports, usage : Shure se215 + 4.4 plug + Hiby r4 and it really opens up the Shures and the over ear loops are very comfortable too
This is really warm sounding as advertised. Especially vocals are more engaging. The fact that its driven by phone power doesn't affect the sound quality in anyway like in other dacs I have experienced brighter, thin sound or few peaks in upper midrange. If earphones are having good sensitivity then this dac provides good enough power. Although bit bulky build is very good. I'm sure it can withstand frequent drops also. Have not tried the filters and listening to default filter only. One thing I noticed is although on paper power output is good for 32ohm its only good at driving earphones and not headphones. Distortion kicks in when volume is increased even at high gain setting. I'm only guessing current supplying capability for dynamic driver headphones is not sufficient. Tested with 300ohm HD600.
